Abstract

The first book of its kind, Environmental Electrochemistry considers the role that electrochemical science and engineering can play in environmental remediation, pollution targeting, and pollutant recycling. Electrochemical-based sensors and abatement technologies for the detection, quantification, and treatment of environmental pollutants are described. Each chapter includes an extensive listing of supplemental readings, with illustrations throughout the bookto clarify principles and approaches detailed in the text.

• The first book to review electro- and photoelectrochemical technologies for environmental remediation, pollution sensors and pollutant recycling
• Applicable to a broad audience of environmental scientists and practicing electrochemists
• Includes both laboratory concepts and practical applications

"This book is an excellent treatise on the fundamentals of modern electrochemistry and its applications to the solution of analytical and remedial environmental problems...readable by engineers, chemists, physicists, biologists, and other technical persons trained at the level of advanced undergraduate students and beyond..." --James F. Rusling, University of Connecticut, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY

"Explores the application of electrochemical and photochemical methods to pollution sensors and abatement. Intended for both an environmental specialist audience and for the practicing electrochemist, the focus is the positive role that electrochemical science and engineering can play in the detection, quantification, and treatment of environmental pollutants." --REFERENCE & RESEARCH BOOK NEWS

"...this book presents some of the most modern approaches to sensing and remediating pollutants, and does in comprehensively..." --Hal Reichard, CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRESS, September 1999
